rs1800795
IL6rs1800795 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the IL6 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Personality analysis to describe Stress Resilience and Resilience to Trauma.

An rsID such as rs1800795 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of GG, GC, CC. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so GC and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
Stress Resilience
Emotional Traits · Part of the Personality analysis
Associated with inflammatory response, which can impact stress resilience.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| GG | Higher stress resilience |
| GC | Moderate stress resilience |
| CC | Lower stress resilience |
- Summary
- IL6 variants influence resilience to stress and recovery from stressful events.
- Scientific insights
- Those with 'GG' may recover from stress more quickly and feel less affected.
- Lifestyle tips
- Engaging in regular physical activity can help build stress resilience.
Resilience to Trauma
Emotional Traits · Part of the Personality analysis
Associated with immune response regulation, impacting emotional and physical resilience.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| GG | Higher resilience |
| GC | Moderate resilience |
| CC | Lower resilience |
- Summary
- IL6 gene variations influence resilience to stress and trauma, affecting recovery time.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with 'GG' may bounce back more quickly from trauma and stress.
- Lifestyle tips
- Building a strong social support network can enhance resilience.
